This was Howland's biggest downfall in my eyes. He stopped focusing on the local products who were willing to play his system and started going for the flashy prospects. Many of whom weren't happy playing his brand of basketball and some with character/attitude issues.

As for the UNC prospects Drew2 was really good this season. I'm personally not a huge fan of the Wear twins, but they aren't terrible. The UNC guys definitely weren't the issue.

California’s population grew less than one percent between July 1, 2011 and July 1, 2012 to total more than 37.8 million persons. This represents 256,000 more residents during the fiscal year. The current growth rate of 0.7 percent is about the same as last year’s population growth and continues the pattern of modest growth rates over the past few years.

As in the last decade, natural increase (births minus deaths) remains the primary source of the state’s growth. The natural increase of 269,000 in the past year is composed of approximately 503,000 births minus 234,000 deaths. Births continued to decline statewide while deaths increased over the fiscal year. Net migration reduced the population by fewer than 14,000 residents. Net migration includes all legal and unauthorized foreign immigrants, residents who left the state to live abroad, and the balance of hundreds of thousands of people moving within the United States both to and from California. During the fiscal year, the state gained about 96,000 net foreign immigrants.

Since the national census on April 1, 2010, the state has grown by 572,000 persons.

Now, move this argument to RDT.

Back to basketball, the Big Ten for all intents and purposes has 2 teams in the Final Four of the real basketball championship. Discuss.

(and by real, I mean the one where winning it is equal to a REAL first round NCAA win)

Yeah, this is a really interesting matchup. OSU looks rock solid and plays great d. Arizona, on the other hand, has tons of talent and athleticism, but have been really inconsistent this season. I look forward to seeing how it plays out.

Also, one of my best friends graduated from OSU and is flying out to LA this weekend in hopes that OSU wins. BuckeyeDan you should come.

I haven't been to the west coast yet either :/ I have been unemployed since late fall so I'm frankly just too much of a broke ass right now.

God that'd be sick though. The farthest west I have been in the u.s. is texas
